Happy Birthday Debbie
May 11th was my Aunt Debbie's birthday. My Aunt Kay came up from near Jackson, MS to take her to lunch. She brought her daughter Kandie and Kandie's friend Chuck.
Love you guys and thank you for coming by to visit. It was nice to see all of you. God Bless!
Awards Day for Dylan
I was so happy that I decided to go to Awards Day. His teacher didn't let me know and low and behold he got THREE awards. I was so very happy. Here they are below:
I went after the awards and signed him out for SUMMER! You talk about a little boy being so very happy! Tonight we can stay up and they have Haley Bug coming over to stay. Wish I had some celebration food, but I will this weekend.
I went this afternoon and got the decorations for Gia and Annalissa's birthday. Now all I have to get are the presents. I just pray more money comes through before then. You can never start too early to plan, but the most important thing is that everyone is happy. I have to say it is very hard sometimes to make Gia happy, but she is my daughter and I am the same way. Here are some pics of her:

| She picked out this hat at the Dollar Tree. ...lol it's gonna be her birthday hat, and of course she had to be a pack of rings and put on her Tinkerbell top to top all of it off. God broke the mold on her. LOL |

Mother's Day 2012
Been a somewhat peaceful weekend. I spent it with Anna and Charles at his house. It was nice to just sit out in the country watching tv and listening to a beautiful thunderstorm. Taking a nap with Anna, and enjoying some KFC that totally knocked up all out.
I was a little sad not to spend it with my two older kids, but they will be here in a few minutes. Charles sold his gun so he could take me out to dinner. We went to out favorite Mexican restaurant in Philly. We went got Anna a drink called Hogwash/Green and it totally turned her body red. I don't understand why drinks do that to her. It's all by faded, it's just weird.
Now I am back home and waiting for Dylan and Gia. She's out for the summer, but he has to go the rest of the week. So not fair, lol. We are going to have fun the girls and I. I am looking forward to crawling in bed with the kids and getting a little better sleep than I did this weekend. Charles's bed is horrible, and we both sleep all over the bed. He gave up about 7am and went and got on the couch. lol. Well, that's my weekend. Thanks for taking the time to read this. :-) Be Blessed!

Gia Graduates Pre-K!
Last night was so great! My little girl Gia graduated Pre-k at Union High School. I am so very proud of her. Her she is with her cousin (far right) singing "Tooty Ta Ta".
Here are some pics:
Anyway, the program was so wonderful. They did really good and sang a lot of songs. Gia got to sing a song with a few others for the colors brown and black. The last song in the video had the whole room rolling in laughter. Kids are so special and precious.
Here are some pics:

| Little nervous. lol |
I was extremely nervous because this would be the first public time my ex-husband and Charles would be at a public program with my whole family. I was really about to throw up on the way to the program. It's something I had dreaded for the past few years. I am very happy to report that no one started a fight or got their butts kicked.
Dylan was so happy to see his father he ran and jumped into his arms. I know all of this is hard on him. His father is a long haul truck driver and I have a new family, but life goes with the flow and you have to ride along. Gia was not happy to see her Dad. It's always like that and he is about to give me some answers. She should adore him.
So, this weekend the kids are suppose to go with Donor #1. At first he said Saturday, but he did tell them last night at the program he was going to get them. He better or I'm gonna tell him off. If he don't the kids are going to go to Heather's. She offered and that was really sweet of her. I am going to Charles to have a little time with him and Anna. I guess it's starting to be a weekly thing again. It used to be like that before we started to have problems. I will always have my guard up and that makes me so sad, but I guess everyone is like that.
Next, week Gia will be home with me and Anna. I am going to get all my stuff straighten up. It's looks like I'll have to maybe move to find a decent job. I would love to be a preschool teacher. Really only kind of teacher I guess I could be. I'll have to check into it. I'm 35, almost 36. It's time to get a job that I will retire at. It's time!
Poor Dylan has to go another whole week. Lol. I feel for him. It's so not far. Here's a pic from this morning. My pen holder was making a rainbow on the floor and he thought it was so cool. Be Blessed!

What am I made of?
I have been in a weird mood all day. Depressed mainly, but I have also been pondering things. What am I here for? Is it just to be a mother. Of course, with today's standards you are a loser if you are just a Mother. I have no real connection with anyone on this earth.
I've lived in the same town for twenty years and yet not attached to any part of it. I want to start over somewhere else, but why? So I can feel even more alone? It might be that I am living in the weirdest small town ever. Everyone seems rich yet there are no jobs here. You have to drive almost twenty miles to get to other humans. How the crap do they make all their money?
I think I need to cut some strings and most of them are glued to my heart. I need my spirit back. I need to stop worrying about what other people think of me and my ability to do anything. I need to stop listening to all the negative comments and for goodness sake stop listening to my own mind.
I want to be happy, and that is only up to me. Then why do I let other people stop me? Why even consider their opinions at all? Very confusing and caging. I have built this invisible wall or fortress around myself here and that is not a great idea because like everything this place will fade. I will be in a world of hurt if I don't get on my own two feet.
I have a lot of envy built up against people. It is only because I crave the basics in life. It pisses me off that I worked so hard all those years, went to college, and I have just piles of rubbish. Nothing to start on, nothing to stand on. That has to change. I have to realize that I will never be blessed with a man I can depend on. It is not meant for me and I have to rise above it all. Be Blessed!

Little Get Away
I decided to put our blog here on the front page. It just takes up too much of my time doing two.
So, we took a little holiday this weekend. We had all the kids and stayed a couple of nights away so they could swim, and relax....it just wasn't relaxing for me AT all. Donor#2, and even though I am grateful cause he footed the bill, decided he would get in bed and not move. That left me four kids to manage, but it went ok. Here are all the pics.
We stayed there Friday alone, and I got some rest then. We went to the Golden Moon and the Silver Star. We played a few slots. He did pretty good and I won $20. I told him that in some way I'll have to spend it and I did, that what he didn't just straight up take from me. I wouldn't have done him like that, but that's his way.
Saturday it was going to just be me and my kids, but his son decided to go. Kinda good cause even though Charles turns back into a 15 year old around him, there is at least a little help. We took at the kids to the hotel and ate some Popeye's. Got to love that. We let them swim a few hours. There were some drifters in the pool that management had to kick out. Very awkward. I don't understand how people have the balls to do stuff like that. As if they are not going to get caught.
After swimming, I used my cell phone to order pizza and the kids thought that was amazing. You have got to love kids! After pizza, the kids lost their mind wanting to go get pizza. The idiot actually wanted me to go do that and get out and get him some beer. I said no way it was not happening. Don't care if he got mad. One of the rules of me going this weekend was that he was not suppose to drink and he did. He literally can not go one day without alcohol. I wish he would because that is the man I love. The sober part of him that I never get to see.
This morning was a little more stressful. Having to get all the kids to the front office to make waffles, then go back and pack everything. I don't really think parents...well Mommies never get to relax when you go somewhere. The same little dramas follow you even when you leave home. People lost their shoes, has missing kidnapped socks and underwear. Motel dryer was expensive and even after an hour it did not dry my bra...Lordy it's was something every three seconds.
Well this week is Gia last week of Pre-k. She will have a program this Thursday. I am so excited to see her on stage. I am going to start looking for a job this week, and try to start, as soon as, everyone is out of school. I will probably start part time and then become full time when school goes back in session. I am going to save for another car, and then a trailer and some land. Right now that's the plan. If you are reading this, please say a little prayer. Thanks, and Be Blessed!

New Blog!
I finally figured out this new Blogger interface and whala! I know have my blog, writings, photography, and store all together. I really hope you enjoy it!
Ok, so I decided to write openly and I'll gonna call the "fathers" donor 1 and donor 2. Everything one else will stay the same. I don't like putting every single thing out there. I do live in the modern version of Mayberry.
Coming soon is a lot more writing. I have taken a big break, and I'm going back into it head first. I have also had a wonderful idea for a book, and I'm going to start writing it. Also coming soon is the Southern Happies store in Esty. Very excited about that. More information to come soon.
Remember to click above to go where you like. Blog ~Southern Mommy~ is not on this page. Love ya for stopping by. Be Blessed!
